The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with methods of simulation and
control of technological processes in the area of metallurgy of non-ferrous
metals and special materials. The main spheres of lectures: theory of automatic
and optimal control, identification, theory of mathematical modelling and
simulating. Collecting, transfer and processing of information. Material
engineering in the area of non-ferrous metals, refining and recycling.
Utilization of computer art for direct and indirect control of technological
processes in metallurgy of non-ferrous metals. Modelling and simulating of
crystallization processes and refining of metals and semiconductors, solution
of diffusion processes. Optimisation of properties of metals and their alloys
after thermal-mechanic treatment. Application of material software in education
and research (programs HSC, TAPP, MAT.DB, thermal treatment of low-alloyed
alloys, prediction of properties). Creation and application of database systems
for production simulation.
